Gun shy with other meds for osteoporosis. | F | 65 | 2 months 150mg 1X day | 4/19/2022 | 1 | osteoporosis | 2017, my orthopod prescribed Boniva (Ibandronate) tablets. I began taking in June and continued 42 months. By November 2017, episodes begin of (what I called) dizziness, but was more like brain-fog. Had a physical by my geriatric doctor in December. Prescribed a medication for vertigo. Did not help. The episodes became more frequent and intense. I attributed it to old age. 2018, I have three dental implants from 15 years earlier. Now the anchors for them began to hurt. My jaw bones holding the anchors were deteriorating, and the metal was exposed. My dentist did not give credence to my warnings about Ibandronate patients and jaw/teeth. So, he ordered surgery. Two bone graphs later, the jaw bones began to heal. All year, felt a general feeling of illness progressing. 2019, I began to have involuntary jerking upwards of my left foot (muscle spasms). It worsened. So, I saw a neurologist. He prescribed medications for epilepsy and restless-leg syndrome…several different | My wife has been a real soldier and inspiration to me through this. I do not know if I would have chosen to endure this…day after day, and even now. All of my friends and family(s) ask how and why such a drug is allowed on the market. After 42 months of Ibandronate, my bone density improved by 10%. So, the pharaceutical companies would argue that it “works”. Damn the side effects.

My spasmodic left foot made walking so difficult, I have to use a cane. My slurred speech getting worse. In desperation, I researched the side effects of Ibandronate. Became convinced that my problems were Ibandronate-caused. I stopped taking the Ibandronate December 2020. 2021, got cancer in left kidney. They removed it cleanly (no chemotherapy). I began physical therapist for back pain from the atrophy that set in during convalescence. That same year, the dentist finally pulled the loose tooth. That same year, the neurologists gave up trying to diagnose me, but he treated me with five steroid treatments assuming Autoimmune Disease from the cancer. Did not help, but I caught several bacterial infections (wrecked immune system). It is 2022. It has been 13 months since I quit the Ibandronate. Am scheduled to see another neurologist next week.

BONIVA (IBANDRONATE SODIUM): Ibandronate is used to prevent and treat certain types of bone loss (osteoporosis). Osteoporosis causes bones to become thinner and break more easily. Your chance of developing osteoporosis increases after menopause, as you age, or if you take corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone) for long periods. This medication works by slowing bone loss to help maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of broken bones (fractures). Ibandronate belongs to a class of medications called bisphosphonates. FDA Approval Date: 2005-03-24 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
